"The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans, he said."
"Well, the biggest adversary is the adversary, the people that we're fighting. And that would be Iran."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth testified that the biggest adversary facing the U.S. is the Democrats due to their lack of support for the Iran war.

Jennings acknowledged that the primary adversary is indeed Iran but defended Hegseth's perspective, suggesting that Democrats' negative comments about the military's effectiveness could be detrimental.
